 | Pride Fighting Championships: Pride Fighting Legacy
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $9.81 These are the earliest events Pride held. Some decent fights, some boring ones. This isn't the greatest era of Pride, but these legacy sets allow you to get a ton of events for really cheap and they also give you a history lesson as well.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Pride Fighting Legacy, Vol. 2
The action picks up a little. Still the early days. The Legacy sets are definitely the way to go.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Pride Fighting Legacy, Vol. 3 - Pride 12-16
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $12.96 I really like this set. We get a lot of fights from some of today's biggest MMA stars: Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva, Rampage Jackson, Antonio Nogueira, Kazushi Sakuraba, Dan Henderson and much more.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Pride Fighting Legacy, Vol. 5
Buy new: $27.49 / Used from: $24.47 The best legacy set available. I would pay 20 dollars alone for Silva vs. Jackson 2, but there are some other key matchups: Fedor vs. Nogueira, Rampage vs. Randleman, Cro Cop vs. Herring, Anderson Silva vs. Carlos Newton

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Return of the Warriors
Buy used from: $8.41 Considered one of the best MMA events in history. This is easily my favorite of the "old" Prides. This event is not available in the Legacy sets, buy this Ringside Collector's Edition.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Bad Blood - Ringside Collector's Edition
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $13.98 Another Ringside Collector's edition. This isn't as good as Pride 10, but there is a great grudge match here between 2 of MMA's biggest stars: Don Frye and Ken Shamrock. The best fight though, has to go to Pele vs. Carlos Newton, simply amazing.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Championship Chaos II
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $3.92 I don't understand why this didn't make it into a legacy set, but it is a solid event. You are shown why Fedor, Wanderlei, Nogueira, Arona, Ninja, and Sakuraba are all to be feared.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: Fists of Fire
Buy used from: $6.19 Another event left of out of the Legacy sets. A decent event. Rampage coming back after his brutal loss to Wanderlei. You also watch Cro Cop vs. Coleman in awe and admiration.

|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Fully Loaded
Buy used from: $10.49 Looks like no more Legacy sets, so we have Pride 30 as a single release. A decent event. The rematch between Josh Barnett and Mirko Cro Cop as well as a legends fight between Ken Shamrock and Kazushi Sakuraba.

 | Pride Fighting Championships: 2000 GP
Buy new: $44.99 / Used from: $17.57 The first Pride Grand Prix. Not the most exciting one, but historically the most important. The winner was completely counted out and he re-designed his career. We also have the epic hour and a half battle between Royce Gracie and Kazushi Sakuraba.
7 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride GP 2003
Maybe the greatest tournament assembled in the history of MMA. UFC star Chuck Liddell, Pride Champion Wanderlei Silva, rising star Quinton Jackson, and Olympic gold medalist Hidehiko Yoshida. Also has some classic non-tourni fights: Cro Cop vs. Nogueira, Cro Cop vs. Igor, and more.

|
 | Pride Fighting Championships - Shockwave 2003
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $14.98 The Shockwave shows were the year end events. Pride always stacked up these cards with huge stars and huge matchups. Not the best Shockwave, but you know an event is loaded if Rampage is the first fight.
7 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Total Elimination 2004
Buy used from: $21.87 The 2004 Heavyweight Grand Prix, first round. All the world's best Heavyweights in one arena. Some big upsets and powerful matchups here.

Buy used from: $18.95 The 2nd Round of the 2004 Heavyweight tournament. Some of the most exciting finishes in MMA history here, especially look out for Rampage Jackson vs. Ricardo Arona and Fedor vs. Randleman.
8 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Final Conflict 2004
Buy used from: $12.30 The final round of the 2004 tournament. Besides an anti-climatic finish (which is later resolved at Shockwave 04), this is one of the best cards Pride ever put out. Some of the best fights in tournament and non-tournament format.
9 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Shock Wave 2004
Buy used from: $62.72 My personal favorite shockwave event. Jens Pulver vs. Takanori Gomi in a lightweight boxing brawl, Fedor vs. Nogueira 3, 2 Olympic gold medalists against each other, Cro Cop vs. Randleman 2, Wanderlei Silva vs. Mark Hunt, you can't ask for more.

|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Total Elimination 2005
Buy used from: $7.48 On paper looked like the most stacked event of its time, but it was somewhat of a dud. Rampage vs. Shogun is worth your time though.
5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championship - Critical Countdown 2005
Buy used from: $22.98 The 2nd round of the 2005 Middleweight tournament. This is where things pick up. Shogun vs. Lil' Nogueira in one of the best fights of the year, Wanderlei vs. Nakamura in a slugfest, and some brutal heavyweight matches as well.
8.5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Final Conflict 2005

9 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Shockwave 2005
Buy used from: $11.83 Another stacked Shockwave event. Gomi vs. Sakurai/ Henderson vs. Bustamante for the Busido tournament finals belts. Wanderlei vs. Arona for the Middleweight belt. The real show stealer is a kickboxing battle between Mark Hunt and Mirko Cro Cop.

 | Pride FC - Bushido Vols. 1-3
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $8.30 Pride Bushido. Held mostly to showcase the lighter weight fighters and lesser known stars. The first couple Bushido's aren't that great, but this 3 set is definitely worth your money. Some good mini tournaments and some quick showings by Cro Cop and Wanderlei Silva.
6.5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championship - Bushido, Vol. 4
Buy used from: $18.43 Not the best of the Bushido's either. Watch Cro Cop beat up some can and the rise of one of Japan's biggest stars: Takanori Gomi.
5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Bushido, Vol. 5
Buy used from: $5.26 Bushido picks up a little bit here. A great fight between Gomi and Krazy Horse, as well as some solid fights with Shogun, Chonan, Newton, Sakurai, Minowa and more.
6 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Bushido, Vol. 6
Buy used from: $8.21 The best of Bushido up until this point. Fedor Emelianenko vs Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, Fedor trying to avenge the only "loss" of his career.
7 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships: Bushido, Vol. 7
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $8.98 A really good event. One of the best Lightweight cards in history. The first couple fights are so great you won't think it can get any better until Baroni vs. Minowa and Gomi vs. Azeredo.
8.5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride FC - Bushido, Vol. 8
Buy used from: $4.87 Another really good card. Overlooked because Bushido 7 and 9 are so good. Definitely worth your time. Denis Kang, Joachim Hansen, Minowa, Thompson, Kimo, and a lot more.
7.5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Fighting Championships - Bushido - The Tournament (Vol. 9)
Buy used from: $16.74 Maybe one of the best events Pride ever put on. This is the first and second round of the Welterweight and Lightweight tournaments. There is too much to describe, just buy it.
9.5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride Shockwave 2006
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $16.19 The first Pride release under the "Zuffa" banner. The DVD was butchered somewhat, but the event is still solid. Fedor vs. Hunt for the Heavyweight belt, Barnett vs. Nogueira rematch, Aoki vs. Hansen, and a lot more stacked fights.

 | Pride 34: Kamakazi
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.95 The DVDs are being released backwards now for some reason. This is the final Pride event. Not the greatest, but a historical event. The first true Pride vs. UFC match and a great fight between rising star Sokoudjuo and Arona.
6.5 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride 33: Second Coming
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.48 One of the best Pride cards in history. The true final Pride card. This is also one of the best events ever held in the U.S. Dan Henderson vs. Wanderlei Silva for the Middleweight belt, but the true show stealer is Takanori Gomi vs. Nick Diaz in fight of the year.
9 out of 10 stars
|
 | Pride 32: The Real Deal
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.00 The first U.S. Pride show. Not as good as The Second Coming, but still really good. Lots of stars here: Fedor, Coleman, Shogun, Randleman, Butterbean, Henderson, Belfort, Barnett, Lawler...
8 out of 10 stars
|
 | PRIDE Bushido Volume 13
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.27 Another newer release, being released out of order. Not one of the better Pride cards. We have some solid stars though: Marcus Aurelio, Takanori Gomi, Denis Kang, Kazuo Misaki.

|
